  1. Aesthetic Nurse, RN BSN confusion please help

    Plutonium261 replied to missmaycohen's topic in General Students

    Santa Monica College is a community college. Community colleges only offer associate degrees. You would be able to receive an ADN, but if a BSN is what you desire you would have to attend or...

  2. What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    Plutonium261 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    Like so many things I've read of yours GrnTea, so perfectly said. Do you know how many times I've heard from classmates, since I started my program, their exact path to what they want to do or to...

    Plutonium261 posted a topic in General Students

    I just started my OB rotation last week, and what perfect timing, ironically my wife is due any day now with our first child! I'm so excited, and a little nervous. The best part about this so far...

    Plutonium261 replied to Cheers_G's topic in General Students

    Ok so yeah, sorry, definitely don't listen to me on that one, it is definitely different than the ATI for RN, which is 66.7. I just took an ATI proctored 3 weeks ago and the bottom-end for level 2...

  6. ATI Med/Surg (LVN) passed!

    Plutonium261 replied to Cheers_G's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I just realized that this may be in the LVN forum. The ATI cut off numbers I posted were in regards to the ATI Med-Surg RN proctored. I'm not sure if the scales are the

  7. ATI Med/Surg (LVN) passed!

    Plutonium261 replied to Cheers_G's topic in General Students

    I believe the bottom end cut off for level 2 is somewhere around 66.7. Something like that. Although I did get a level 3 for my ATI Med-Surg proctored, I can't for the life of me remember what the...

  8. Big battle ahead of me. I need to get 90 or better on each component

    Plutonium261 replied to Ajamomma's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    It is most definitely doable. I scored really well on my HESI entrance exam, on three weeks notice. I mainly just focused on math in my studying beforehand though because I was really worried about...

  9. Starting nursing school... Need advice!

    Plutonium261 replied to StaceyTr88's topic in General Students

    Also, I mentioned the book Med-Surg Success. A peer of mine mentioned to me that there is a book that precedes it called Fundamentals Success. I didn't know of it, though I didn't really need help...

  10. Starting nursing school... Need advice!

    Plutonium261 replied to StaceyTr88's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming that you'll be starting out in Fundamentals of Nursing, which in case you'll have a brief overview of A&P within it, and it's pretty basic information and concepts. With that being...

  11. Finally ACCEPTED!!!!!!! Now what?!

    Plutonium261 replied to frenchtoastwaffles's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! And yes, what the first commenter said, relax, go on a little vacation, and spend time with family and friends. Also I would sit down at some point with your family and whatever...

  12. 6 months in med surg...uncomfortable

    Plutonium261 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    P.S. I'm in an accelerated BSN program and we also only get a week off every ten weeks, and I usually use this time (after I take a few days off to myself and my family) to try and brush up on some of...

  13. 6 months in med surg...uncomfortable

    Plutonium261 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    One of the issues I see with your critical thinking is a similar issue I originally had when I started out in my RN program and going from thinking like an EMT to thinking along the lines of an RN,...

    Plutonium261 posted a topic in General Students

    So I haven't posted anything in awhile, been sort of busy with school and life and all. The life of a student nurse. Haha. I thought I'd just write and mention that I just finished my Intermediate...

    Plutonium261 replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    Textbookrentals.com It compares all the textbook rental sites and shows you the best deals in order. Kind of like progressive insurance.

  16. NeedleStick...

    Plutonium261 replied to Stacey2010's topic in General Students

    Does not matter if there was blood because of the prick or not. Always report. You don't know what you don't know. And MRSA can be a big deal. I'm with everyone else I would go to your instructor...

  17. How do I find the pass rate of colleges in my area?

    Plutonium261 replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

  18. Statistics

    Plutonium261 posted a topic in General Students

    Just wanted to say that I've for the most part historically been super scared of math. Math in general, except for medical math, for some reason medical math/dosage & calculations just makes...

  24. Some facts about the West Coast BSN program

    Plutonium261 replied to X620's topic in California Nursing

    @Theone40 Because you said "...most people..." at least that leads me to believe that you are specifically speaking to people who are uninformed, and change the "most" to "some" and I can agree with...

    Plutonium261 replied to X620's topic in California Nursing
